There is a range of quality control approaches that can be applied to manufacturing processes. For example, statistical techniques such as acceptance sampling and control charts have been successfully used since the 1930s, but the field of quality control is still evolving and there are a number of interesting pieces of research being carried out today.
This book will describe examples of the latest research on quality control in several sectors, including cosmetic manufacture, food production, medical imaging, studies of antimicrobial resistance, and the production of medicines such as plant-based drugs and radiopharmaceuticals.
Another section of the book will deal with general quality control issues, including the identification of outliers; how quality is defined in multi-operation processes; and the choice of decision-making policies for acceptance sampling, with reference to Markovian and Bayesian modeling techniques for determining control thresholds.
The book is intended both for researchers in the field of quality control, and for any students or practitioners who need to apply quality control techniques as part of their work.
